White hat hackers are ethical hackers who find and report vulnerabilities with the intention of improving security. They typically notify the affected organization (in this case, the system owner and Microsoft) to help protect users from potential exploits.

C. Gray hat. Gray hat hackers find vulnerabilities without malicious intent but may still test systems without permission. They often disclose vulnerabilities responsibly to system owners or vendors, even if they initially accessed the system without authorization. Unlike white hat hackers, who only test systems with prior consent, gray hats may act without permission but with good intentions.
